a War Horse with n History.

Den, the horse ridden by Ex-Governor
Marshall the last year of the war, died on
the Governors farm, just north of st. Paul,
aged 20 years. H. was doubtless the last
survivor In Minnesota Of horses used In the
late war. Don had campaigned 1t through
Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama. The
most conspicuous battles In which he served
were the battles Of Nashville, on December
10 and 10, 1864, and the siege Of Mobile,
March and April, 1865. ON the last day
at Nashville, in the grand, decisive charge
Of General A. j.. Smiths corps, Don bore
his master at the head of his brigade across
the artilleTy-swept field, leaping the enemys
works ut the Ponte Coupee Louisiana bat
teiy of four Napoleon guns. At the siege
of Mobile, In advancing to the attack OF
Spanish fort, Governor Marshall received
severe wound while riding Dom st.

SOUTHERN BARBARITY,

"Charleston, S. c., July17,-At
Barnwell yesterday Judge Hud-
son sentenced Axey Cherry, a
colored girl twelve years old, to be
hanged on the third Friday in
September tor the murder of the
infant of Amos Williams, of AL
lendale, Barnwell County: The
child was sent by her mother to
act as nurse for the Williams
baby. She poked around the
house and attended to her duties
in so negligent manner that she
had to be constantly scolded. Af-
ter a scolding one day she was
overheard muttering to herself
that she wasn't gong to bother
with that baby much more.
A few days after this concentra-
ted lye was used in securing the
floor, and When Mrs. Williams
left the room for a few minutes
she told Axey that the lye was
poisonous and that she mustn't
touch it. On her return Mrs. Viii
liams was Mortified to find her
baby's mouth full of concentrated
lye. Axey ran out of the house
saying as she left, 81 don't reckon

THE CAUSE.

The Bee should either show
cause for its fight on Recorder
Trotter, or cease its mean, petty at
tacks.-Indianapolis World.
Our attacks on Recorder Trotter
may be petty. but they are just
and perhaps when our esteemed
contemporary knows the cause it
will change front. Mr.. Trotter
was made recorder Of deeds by
accident, and at the time he was
appointed he found several compe-
tent colored cl, rks in his off e.
A short time after he was record
er he was taken sick and durin q
his sickness he allowed one or two
colored clerks to be discharged
because it was reported to him
that the father of one of these
clerks, Mr.. Fred. Douglass, Jr.,
had made republican speeches and
opposed the democratic party.
Should a child be held responsible
for the acts of his parents?
Does our able contemporary en-
dorse such thing as this? What
is his next step? He increases the
pay of white man, and retains
one or two others and pay them
high salaries. 1t is his perogative
to do this, but is it just? He met
Mr.. Douglass on the street, after
great deal of 81 didn't and l didn't
discharge him, &c.. aud informed
him that the reason he was dis
charged was, that the District
democrats had been to him and re-
quested his removal, because they
were inimical to his (Douglass0
father and when he was asked
whether young Douglass would be
re-appointed h (Trotter) said that
he could not after he had denied
having discharged him. We are
in possession of a great deal which
we shall not at this time publish,
but when we do publish what we
have, it will make many a hair
stand on an end like quills on
porcupine. Mr.. Henry johnson
The Washington bee., 1887-07-23

1t is said that the Recorder of
Deeds, of Washington, has been
advised not to retain any Douglass
since the elder Douglass was such
an offensive Christian
Recorder.
Recorder Trotter seems to have
acted upon what he claims to be
Democratic advice, and dismissed
MIR. Douglass, Jr., because his
father is such an outspoken repub-
hcan. Trotter has proven himself
to be just what ex.Recorder Mat
thews predicted, Ga very weak
man." Trotter admits that Doug
lass performed his duties satisfac-
torially, and that there was nothing
against him personally. Yet he
must be displaced on account of his
fathers steadfastness to principle
in the interest of his, Trotter's
race, at the instance of his, Trot-
ter's newly made friends? "The
fool doth think he is wise; but the
wise man, knows himself to be a
feol."

AN OPEN LETTER TO COM.
MISSIONER w. B, WEBB.

To Commissioner w. B. Webb.
Sir The colored people 10
this city have the most implicit
faith in you, and they believe that
it is your desire to treat them fair
ly and accord any reasonable de-
mand or request they may make.
There is movement on foot by a
certain class of men, whose mo.
tives and designs are as corrupt as
sin, to have you do that in our
schools which must be to their
detriment. That is, to remove all
the cOlored trustees and appoint
new ones. This movement is aug
mented by a man, who will give
his life's blood to be appointed on
the school board, and who has
been charged with having bartered
the virtue of teachers and other
females, to members of Congress.
Another is a known libertine,
and any teachers virtue would be
in danger if he were appointed. /.
Now Mr.. Webb, be careful how you
act upon the advice of these would
be reformers of our public schools.
Our teachers need to be pro-
tecred from such notorious scoun.
drels as well as our children need
moral teaching from teachers. We
would advise you to consult our
best citizens, Supt. Cook,
Revs. Waring, Brooks, Richard
Francis, Capt. Wall, Mr.. Noyes, of
the Star, Rev. Dyson, DR.. Dorsey,
and such men before you act hasti-
ly. Messrs. Fish, Darlington, Cur
tis, and other members of the
school board, can no doubt give
you some good advice. 1t is claimed
that the people in South Washing
ton, want recognition on the board.
They aIo nut saying anything, but
the politicians are doing all the
talking. The people in East and
West Warrington, would have the
same right to put in their claim
for representation on the schoos
board. When our public schools
become to be political soup pot
for politicians it is about time to
abolish them. Politics should not
enter our public schools, we have
had too much of that in the past.
A teacher should feel as secure in
her position as an honest Judge
would on the bench.
Certain familiarity has been
practiced by men in authority. In
designating your school trustees,
Mr.. Webb, we beg leave to cali
your attention to the necessity of
designating DR.. Francis, in the 7th
school division, and Prof. Johnson
or Mr.. Stewart, in the county.
Hoping that our suggestions will
receive a kind consideration, we
remain yours,
For the People,
The EDITOR.
The Washington bee., 1887-07-23
MISINFORMED.

1t is about as hot here as love in
August, ifDot hotter, and hot as it
is Chase of the BEE is throwing g
grape aud canister into the camp
OF certain members Of the School
Board. He has resurrected his old
charge against Henry Johnson, his
bosom friend. An investigation
into the acts of the paties implicat.
ed will prove disastrous to the for.
tunes of these patriots and their
dependents.
The annual row and scandal
which follows the appointment or
retention Of certain school teach
ers in the colored schools of Wash
ington, will ultimately result in the
abOlishment of the prese school
system, and the employment OF
colored teachers. 1t is a disgrace
to Washington, to have these an.
nual and bi annual quarrrls about
cOlored school Trustees aud colored
teachers.
A gentleman who is closely i.len-
titled with the District government
told me on yesterday he hid
learned that Prof. Gregory was at
the bottom of the fight against
Henry JOhuson. I cannot think
from my knowledge of this gentle~
man that he would lend himself to
snch a disgraceful Cause. | hope
it is not true. | don't believe it,
Baltimore G, mmonwealth.
The above was written by the
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Commonwealth. There
are two or three statements which
we desire to deny, to wit: that he
is our bosom friend, we deny that
Prof. Gregory is at the bottom OF
any fight against Mr.. johnson, we
deny. Prof. Gregory is one of the
most honest and fair minded men
on the school board. He is one OF
the men who is opposed by corrupt
politicians because he refuses to be
a party to favoritism and schemes
to satisfy the whims of corrupt
men. He is like Supt. Cook, we
must admit, above suspicion.
If the correspondent of the Com.
monwealth will inform us who the
gentleman is i'm the District gov.
ernment, we Can convince him
that he is like all others who de.
sire to keep corrupt men in office.
1t was the BEE that investigated
the charges against the two teach
CHS, afUcr having boon informed VI
them by Mr.. johnson, and the BEE
is responsible for the charges to the
school board, and the District Com
missioners against Mr.. Henry John.
son. We say now, and so do the peo-
pie, that Mr.. FL. Johson, should be
removed from the school board, as
he is not the right person to be
identified with our schools. If the
Commissioners want harmony in
the board let them remove John
son and appoint Mr.. Carter
A. Stewart or Prof. w. Bishop
johnson. Either of these two
gentlemen will be acceptable to
the people.
